Tame the trajectory

We've been told to "flatten the curve" because it'll prevent hospitals from becoming inundated with too many people at one time.

What about "flattening the curve" for supermarkets? After all, I'm sure most of us have seen all the panic-buying, empty shelves, and absurd fights breaking out over nothing by now.

If everyone didn't panic-buy all the toilet paper, hand sanitizer, pasta, and other non-perishables all at one time, then maybe grocery stores could better handle the flood of sales.
